On behalf of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and the Fletcher Allen Health Care Family Medicine Service, I want to personally welcome you to the Department's website.
The mission of the Department is threefold:
- To provide high quality care and service to our patients
- To insure high quality educational programs for our residents and students
- To advance the science and specialty of family medicine through investigation and query in a positive learning environment
Fletcher Allen's Family Medicine Health Care Service operates five sites, Colchester Family Practice, Milton Family Practice, South Burlington Family Practice, Berlin Family Health and the Walk In Care Center at the Fanny Allen Campus, employing over 40 family physicians, nurse-practitioners, physician assistants and mental health professionals at our sites. We also provide department status and structure for the many family physicians in the community who have attending medical staff privileges at Fletcher Allen.
The Family Medicine Health Care Service and the University of Vermont are the proud sponsors of the Family Medicine residency-training program, the only such residency program in the State of Vermont. There are six residents per year in this three-year training program, and graduates have a distinguished history of service to the citizens of Vermont. Residents complete the majority of their inpatient rotations at the Medical Center Campus of Fletcher Allen and provide comprehensive, continuous health care at the Milton Family Practice. Residents have primary responsibility for the health care of individuals and families and are closely supervised by on-site attending faculty.
This website contains current information about all aspects of the Department's functions including patient care, medical student and resident education, and our research programs. There is also information about individual faculty members and their areas of expertise. Information not contained on the website can be obtained by email inquiry directed to me.
